Not to sound harsh but reading that was a complete waste of time. In the end it came down to this:
Q: What is it really like working with Steve Jobs?
A: It wasn't magic, it was hard work, thoughtful design, and constant iteration.
No way, really? Come on, I'm sure everyone on HN knows that this is true for any product.
- MrHus 14y agoEveryone knows but it's nice to be reminded sometimes that Apple's level of polish is not the work of gods, and that it can be attained by hard work. The media likes to portray Apple as a magical force and deify's Jobs as the grand Wizard, it nice to see he's just a guy behind the curtains.

- nollidge 14y agoOf course you're not. But that's not an objective assessment, and neither is the opposite view. Jobs still managed to create products that a significant chunk of humanity subjectively enjoys. That's not easy.
